I was talking to my daughter this morning. She is tall and beautiful. SHe hates it. She takes a size 10 shoe and she is sooo embarassed. Why? I have no idea. If her feet were any smaller they wouldnt look right. I began to think about myself and what I dont like about me. I am not skinny, but I am not fat either. I dont look at myself as an ugly person. If I had to choose something I hate about me, it would be my emotional status. I guess that's what I would call it. I have a tendency to make mountains out of mole hills.I dont like to be wrong. I cant even believe I admitted that one. I would like to be less high strung. I tend to flip out very easily. How about you?......

You are not a delinquent. You just dont take any SH*T. I am the same way. I look at people directly in the eye from the beginning. THis shows them that if they intended to use me as someone to pick on, think again because I AM NOT THE ONE! You and I are the same! I am kind and dont want to be hurtful but sometimes people take our kindness for weakness. By looking at them your telling them bring it on. I am not afraid of you. In this day and age, with all the violence, you have to be like that. You stay just the way you are and keep doing what you're doing! Dont let anyone tell you different. If they dont like the way you act, TOUGH. You keep it real and that is a fact. dl

Honestly Footprints, I wouldnt change for anything. Maybe if you tried to control it. You never know when it may come in handy. lol Dont change just modify my friend. Unless you feel its gotten in the way of your success, friendships etc. You're perfect just the way you are. You werent born with a short temper. Something, somewhere in your life occurred and changed your reactions. We adapt for a reason. I would sit down and try to see if it was a specific incident or you just got tired of the way society acts. I think that sounds reasonable. You are not alone my friend. dl

I can surely relate to that. When I got pregnant with my daughter I weighed 120. At 7 months I weighed 187 pounds. No that wasnt a typo. lol. My family is known for its weight gain.I am also out of shape. In the beginning it was due to child birth. Now its just because. I have been excercising and eating right forever and I dont lose nothing. I am seriously considering weight loss surgery. I am going to give it till the end of the summer.If I havent lost at least 10-20 pounds, I am taking it to my doctor. Good Luck. Keep me posted on how you're doing. Maybe I can get a few tips from your success. Please send me a message every now and then if you dont mind. Good luck! I know you'll be just fine. I will be rooting for you friend.Happy MyLotting dl

My nature. I am very caring and honest which hurts me many times because sometimes I feel not all deserve same attention or care from me. I am arrogant when it comes to lie. I can not tolerate cheaters and people who lie, no matter what they are and start arguing with them to let them know how bad and wrong they are.

That's amazing how you and I think so similarly. The three things I cant tolerate are liars, cheaters, and sneaks. I know how bad it feels when you try to care for someone and they dont give you the same attention. I have experience this too many times to count. I always give bags of food, money, clothes, my time etc. RIght now I am currently unemployed and NOT one person has come forward to even offer a kind word. I want to flip out but why bother. I think you nature is perfect. Its a shame that a nice, caring person like yourself cant show his feelings because people take advantage. What has the world come to? Dont sweat it my friend.dl

One thing I hate about myself is that I'm not very friendly but yes I create friends but only few. It's because I find it very hard to trust a person and I'm always suspicious about things. Probably because of my past experiences from friends.. Once I trusted, it's a full trust and so once a person messed up with that trust, there's really no turning back. That's why I don't like the idea of reconnecting with old friends who have hurted me once because for me there's really no point in doing so after many years. That's one thing I'd really like to change about myself.
I talked to God about it and He told me that "when in doubt, we should have the desire to see Jesus through others".. It's kind of a heroic deed for me, but I'll try, especially that next week we will be deployed in our off-campus teaching and I will be meeting different kind of people.. Anyway that's life I guess I have no choice but to deal with it.

Oh MAMA! That's not being unfriendly. You are just cautious. Trouble is that you have been dissed before and it probably hurt. Now you arent going to let it happen again. There is nothing wrong with you my friend. Its the people that did you wrong that have the problem. The one thing I am truly sure of is that someone, such as yourself, couldnt possibly be that unfriendly and be able to admit that. The lord has given you the ability to learn from your experiences. This is a gift. Do you know how many people go thru the same experiences but with different people because they dont learn from their experiences. You are not mean and you shouldnt hate yourself. You are smart. There are millions of men and women who could learn alot from you. I for one would love to call you my friend. If you ask me I will tell you I dont have any friends because its always something devious. Now I can say I have one. No Joke you are way too hard on yourself. Give yourself a break. People should consider themselves lucky to be your friend. If you do decide to be friends with someone they should know that you pick your friends carefully so as not to go thru some bull sh** again. They should feel honored they passed your test. Keep your head up girlfriend! dl

What I hate most about myself is my lack of initiative. I think that it comes from a lack of confidence in my abilities and a fear of failure. It's much easier to tell myself that, had I done something, it would have totally rocked than it is to try and do it and face the possibility of failing or performing below my expectations.

I think its normal to fear that you may fail. I used to be like that. I still kind of do care what people think. I know I shouldnt but sometimes its hard not to. You are not alone in your fears. Start off small. complete small tasks. Take the initiative on something that no one knows about. You dont have to share your business with anyone. The next time an opportunity arises where you have to take the initiative, send me a private message or start a discussion with your peers. We dont know you and wouldnt recognize you if you were sitting in the same room. Who better than to help you. We will help you thru it.If you dont want a ton of advice, send me a message and we'll go thru it together. I have been there and I know how alone you feel. Please let me help you. It would help me as well. I dont have any friends because its always some type of bullsh**. We can help each other. If that's not an option, it's ok I understand. Take it slow. Baby steps. YOU CAN DO IT! Good luck friend. dl

Just one thing? I have this big tummy, I have this fat oval face, I have these wide large feet. And you you want us to be honest, but you only have one itsey little making mountains out of molehills. Me? I let other people affect me too much. When someone gets mad at me, I take it personally and then I get very depressed.

I wear a 11 1/2 shoe. I'm very tall as well. I know how she feels. But I don't care now. What do I not like about myself? Well, as for dislike...I dislike that I have only half of the hair on my head (illness), and I am overweight, although I wouldn't say fat (same wonderful illness caused me to gain weight). What do I hate about myself though? I hate that I let my fear of rejection keep me from doing things I want to do.

do i hate anything?hmm..

Perhaps your daughter is like you, making mountains out of mole hills. Tell her all supermodels are tall. They too had problems in school worrying about such things. They turned out pretty well off. She will too. Tell her to BELIEVE IN HERSELF NO MATTER WHAT!!!After all there is no one in the universe exactly like her!!

The one thing that I dislike about myself is that I always look mean. People tell me all the time to smile, that it'll be okay, and to stop looking so mean. I can't help the way that I look, and I often get a headache from forcing myself to smile all the time. I hate to walk around with an angry expression on my face, but I can't help it. That's just the way I look most of the time. Those who are close to me have gotten used to it, but it's always a problem when I meet new people.

Honestly, there are numerous things that I hate myself. One of which is that I am kinda chubby, even how hard I tried to go on diet, it seems I don't lose weight. I also hate the structure of my nose, the nosebridge is flat. Well, despite of the things I hate about myself, we've really got to love ourselves so that we can also extend love to others.

Being overweight is the thing I hate about myself. I have had a weight problem since childhood. Now I will proberly get a bunch of replies telling me how to lose weight. I know how to lose weight. Cut back on certain foods eat more vegtables and fruits and exersise more. Which I just have been losing weight. As in the past I am sure someone is going to reply to this.

What i hate about myself is my legs,i have a bow legs, you can roll the ball between it. That's why i can't wear mini skirt or shorts or even bikini lolz. I always hide it as much as i can, i feel embarrassed with it.
Maybe your daughter hates it because size 10 shoes is too big for the girl but you explain to her that it's just right for her body size.
Cheers.

I am really quiet in the reality. Sometimes I think too much of what my words or actions may cause toward the world around me that I refuse to do anything, basically maybe become too afraid of the world. So I keep things to myself. Up to some point people told me they are annoyed of this, since they don't understand why I won't speak up more even of the little simple things. Understandable, imagine if you expect an answer from a person you were talking to but that person just turned silent all till the end. It's weird but it's been a habit; I am afraid of the world, always thinking it's better to shut myself.
